And when I feel that brethren spirit
I am fraternal
And when I'm loving on my girls
I am paternal
And when my roots sink in the page
I am saturnal
That's when I'll stick it in the journal
Stick it in the journal
Sink or swim
Sink or swim
I wanna toss it in the journal
Toss it in the journal
No matter the shape I'm in
Shape I'm in
And when it gets all kind of dark
I'll take a turn y'all
And when I crawl out from the night
I am diurnal
That's when I'll stick it in the journal
Stick it in the journal
It might be long
It might be long
I wanna toss it in the journal
Toss it in the journal
It's right and wrong
It's right and wrong
No matter the shape I'm in
Shape I'm in
Sink or swim
Sink or swim
Sink and swim
